7 Epidemiology of Adult Smoking in the U.S. Current smoking among all adults in million adults = 19.3% of population (21.5% of men and 17.3% of women) By Race/Ethnicity: Highest among American Indians/Alaska Natives (31.4%); non-hispanic whites (21.0%); non-hispanic blacks (20.6%). By Age: Adults years (22.0%) and years (21.1%) had the highest prevalence amongst all age groups. By SES: Smoking prevalence decreased with increasing education and was higher among adults living below the poverty level (28.9%) compared to those living at or above poverty level (18.3%). ) Source: CDC.

18 PREVENTING INITIAION: Youth Smoking Adolescence is a period of human development marked by experimentation In the United States, approximately 3,900 young people between the ages of 12 and 17 years initiate cigarette smoking every day 4 An estimated 1,000 young people become daily cigarette smokers 4 Most (80%) of established smokers initiated during youth Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

19 Youth Smoking In 2009 among U.S. high school students: 46.3% of students reported ever smoking* cigarettes; highest among Hispanics (51.0%); Blacks (43.5%) and Whites (46.1%) % of students were current cigarette smokers**; approximately 19.0% of females and 20.0% of males % of white, 18.0% of Hispanic, and 9.5% of African American students were current cigarette smokers. 1 The rate of decline in youth smoking has slowed in recent years. 1 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance United States, 2009 Surveillance Summaries, [June 4, 2010]. MMWR 2010;59(No. SS-5). * Ever smoking defined as ever tried smoking even one or two puffs **Curent cigarette smoking defined as having smoked during the past 30 days.

21 Factors Associated with Youth Smoking Include: Low socioeconomic status Low levels of academic achievement Use and approval of tobacco use by peers or siblings Smoking by parents or guardians, Accessibility, availability and price of tobacco products Perception that tobacco use is normative Lack of skills to resist influences to tobacco use Low self-image or self-esteem OFFICE ON SMOKING AND HEALTH

25 Secondhand Smoke (SHS) Exposure and School Absenteeism Evidence that secondhand smoke exposure in the home is associated with excessive school absenteeism Children s Health Study: Youth 8-12 year olds with asthma who were exposed to SHS had higher odds of school absences than those not exposed to SHS. (RR = 2.35, CI 1.49, 3.71). 1 Dose response relationship between absences and the number of household smokers: as the number of household smokers increased, so did the number of school absences. 1 Among Hispanic youth there was a statistically significant association between being absent from school and exposure to SHS (OR = 2.29, CI = , 298) 2.98). 2 Recent study found that 24%-34% of school absences among 6-11 year olds could be prevented if there was no smoking in the household Gilliland F., Berhane K., Islam T., Wenten M., Rappaport E., Avol E., Gauderman J., McConnell R., and Peters J.

26 Conclusions Tobacco use, particularly smoking is high in adults with low levels of education and persons below poverty level Need to take an upstream approach adults don t drop out, youth do Assess disparities in tobacco use among youth Sub-state level data critical to understand pro-tobacco influences among gyouth Continued surveillance and evaluation of key tobacco indicators needed especially to monitor populations with high prevalence of smoking

29 Surveillance and Evaluation National perspective can inform assessments at the state and local levels low SES, other populations States may have unique situations with respect to addressing tobacco related disparities one size cannot fit all May begin by making an assessment of key tobacco indicators at the state level Population based surveys are a good place to start May take other types of assessments, especially to examine tobacco industry tactics May first ask: are there particular populations where we see lack of change over time

30 Where We Are with OSH Surveillance Continue to track Healthy People Objectives for Tobacco HHS Initiative in Tobacco Control Surveillance, Evaluation, and Research Continue to monitor Performance Measures Continue to use Key Outcomes Indicator as a guidance for surveillance and evaluation in Tobacco Control (logic models, measures) Enhancing surveillance also critical component when monitoring key indicators in tobacco

33 Surveillance Systems Used to Monitor Tobacco and SES Indicators Youth Survey (YRBS, NYTS &YTS) All surveys evaluated cover year olds and most are school based Youth and Adult Surveillance Systems Youth MTF and NSDUH cover the most educational indicators NHANES and PRAMS (household/telephone based surveys) don t ask any questions besides educational attainment and/or enrollment TUS-CPS asks about enrollment, attainment, school type and drop out but doesn t include academic success and behavioral issues Health care delivery rarely asks about educational status Adult Survey Many adult surveys do not differentiate between GED and high school diploma
